Question

Conditions around an enzyme change and affect the shape of the enzymes active sites. Predict how this would affect the enzymes ability to catalyze the reaction

Answer 1

Answer: Enzyme is a special kind of protein which conducts the catalysis of the reaction and speed up the rate of the reaction.

Explanation:

The change in shape of the enzyme will distort or change the shape of the active site of the enzyme thus the enzyme will not be able to bind to the specific substrate and no enzyme substrate complex will be formed so the enzyme will become non-function and will not conduct the catalysis of the reaction. Hence, no product will be formed as no reaction will occur. The high pH and temperature will distort the shape of the enzyme and the active site of the enzyme.
